Islamic Interpretation
Arrows appearing in a dream symbolize communications, a bearer of news, documents, or triumph against foes. When a wife sees her spouse's arrows gathered in his quiver, it indicates that he has distanced himself from her. Arrows further serve as signs or pointers. An arrow removed from its quiver suggests neglecting obligations or failing to convey a message properly. Firing arrows denotes composing correspondence. Launching an arrow that misses the mark means dispatching an envoy for a task that will not succeed. If a lady shoots an arrow toward a man in a dream, it reflects her benevolence toward him, which may lead him to develop affection for her or even result in marriage. Successfully striking the target with an arrow signifies achieving one's objectives, or if desiring offspring, bearing a male child. An arrow may also stand for an envoy, gains, a boy, extended life, or fresh garments. Arrows fashioned from reeds point to lies and idle chatter. Those equipped with heads represent a loquacious individual who, upon hitting the mark, fulfills his words. A broken arrowhead implies speaking merely to shield oneself from criticism. A golden arrow indicates sending word to a woman due to another woman. The arrowhead embodies might, authority, or turmoil. Arrows in general can signify dread experienced by a messenger regarding his safety. Hurling arrows means speaking ill of people behind their backs and defaming them.
